Royal Rogue [Book 2: Royal Series]

Chapter 32

Time seemed to freeze over as we all stared at both The Royal Rogue and June. Landon was growling loudly and my mouth refused to close as it was left hanging open. My mind went over the one word that The Rogue uttered; May.

The first thing that went through my mind was, wrong month, genius. It's June.

I didn't know what to make of this and it seemed like no one else did either. Suddenly, The Rogue decides to move. He slips out of my mates arms and runs towards June. June stood frozen, eyes wide and mouth open. Landon was on the verge of shifting. He stands in front of his mate and The Rogue snarls wildly. He shifts and in response, Landon shifts as well. Landon tackles The Rogue before he can reach June.

I watch, horrified, as my mate runs to them to break them apart.

He's too late though.

The Royal Rogue, being much faster and more skilled than Landon, slices his stomach. Blood poured everywhere but The Rogue didn't stop. He went for the kill.

I couldn't just stand there anymore. I ran like crazy, hating the distance that they had created. Cameron reached them before I did. He grabbed The Rogue and pulled him off of Landon, but not before The Rogue bit down on Landon's neck.

It was a fatal mistake. A fatal mistake indeed.

As The Rogue is pulled off of Landon, he takes his neck with him.

Landon is killed immediately.

Everybody freezes when we hear a loud mournful howl. It took me a second to realise it was from June. She was on her knees besides her fallen mate and I was just awkwardly standing behind her. The reality of the situation finally dawns on me.

Landon is dead.

My eyes snap to The Rogue. He was in my mates grasp, watching June with his wolf eyes.

He dare to hurt one of mine.

I growl. I was beyond furious. My body shakes with the built up rage. I shift into my wolf form and charge at him. The Rogue didn't even seem to notice. He seemed to be in a trance like state as he watched June. I put that information aside though.

He was going to pay and he was going to pay with his life.

Cameron, who sees me coming, lets go of the filthy Rogue and he falls onto the ground with a thud. My mate understood that my wolf and I needed the kill.

I would forever be grateful to him for that.

My eyes were solely focused on The Rogue while his was still focused on June. I didn't know what type of connection he had with her but I couldn't care less. Adrenaline pumped in my veins and I felt everyone's eyes on me. I knew the battle had stopped when everyone heard June's cry. My feet pounded against the forest floor, it drumming in my ears. My vision was the sharpest it has ever been.

My only focus was The Royal Rogue and everything else was a blur.

I finally reach him and don't waste time with my kill. I clamp my teeth down on his neck, shaking it like it were a chew toy. I let it go and am surprised to see the mutt still alive.

Even when he's on the brink of death, his eyes were still trained on June.

He lets out a strangled whine which gets me moving again. I didn't want him alive. At all.

I bite down on his neck again but this time, I rip it into pieces. Once I was done, his head was no longer attached to his body. It was safe to say he wouldn't be moving anymore.

I step back, finally satisfied and the slightest bit calm.

He was gone. The Royal Rogue was dead.

Cameron comes to stand next to me, rubbing my fur. I lean into him. Right now, I needed him more than ever. He takes off his shirt. "Shift back." He commands softly. I do so and quickly slip on the shirt before anyone can see anything. I turn around to examine the battlefield.

Dead bodies were everywhere. Blood was everywhere. The warriors who survived to this point stood staring at us in shock at what had just happened. The rogues leader had just died. I could see their uncertainty.

My head snaps to June when she gasps. Her face contorts into one of pain and she claws at her chest. I run to her, panicked. "What's happening to me?" She asks me through her choked gasps.

"You're having a heart attack."

I look behind me to see my mate. "Someone go get Dr Mary." He barks out. Worry was all I felt. I watched, helplessly, as June convulsed on the ground, not being able to do anything. I gently lay her on the ground, right next to her mate.

The rogues fled the scene as we were distracted. I didn't bother to stop them. I didn't have the energy to.

"I'm coming, Landon." I hear her whisper before her body gives out a final spasm. She lets out her last breath before she's gone.

She died from a broken heart.

<><><>

I haven't had time to mourn. I haven't got that type of freedom. As a queen, I was to keep a strong face so that others knew that I could be there in their time of need. I have not shed a tear. People mourned all around me.

Tears. They were a weird thing. Salted water was just leaking out of your eyes. You cried when you felt extremely happy or you cried when you felt extremely sad.

Tears were all I could see. I felt like I was drowning.

Too much had happened and I barely had time to process it. Too many people died.

I felt arms go around me and I lean into my mates familiar warmth. He was the only reason why I was still coping. Why I had not gone off to the deep end. Without him, I would be a shell of a person I am now.

"The funeral for everyone will be held in three days time." He informs me. I nod.

We were in the pack hospital, helping everyone. Many of the warriors were severely injured. Some of them being Joseph, Damien and Sierra. They were all in stable condition now. The fallen warriors from the other pack were being taken home for a proper burial. As for The Royal Rogue, his remains will be burnt with a matching fire that waged my veins.

I turn my head to the left when I see my twin and her mate. "How is everyone?" She asks me worriedly, clutching her stomach. "Everyone is going to be fine." I answer, not letting any emotion be in my voice.

Anastasia nods before she frowns. She slowly looks down at herself and I follow her eyes. My eyes widen when I notice a clear liquid on the floor.

She gasps. "My water just broke."

AHHHHHH THAT IS THE FINAL CHAPTER!!!
I can't believe it's over. It's finished. Done. Complete. Well almost anyway.
I'm sure most of you are confused on what's going on with the whole May/June fiasco. If you want to find out, the answer is in an extra chapter that is already written. It'll basically be The Royal Rogues back story and that's exactly what it's called.
The epilogue is also there if you want.

Also, RIP June and Landon

Ps, sorry if this chapter was poorly written. I actually hate this chapter. I've never been good at writing stuff like this.

- yours truly, the horrible writer
